X's T'wolves (NBA 2K11)

[dare]

Wow Indiana got lot of depth with Lamar,McGee and Barbosa. I wonder what the Wizards do during the offseason.

[Fresh8]

Wilt is happy to be in Milwaukee with his fellow countryman Andrew Bogut.

[Larvae]

Wow! Nash is a Celtic

[kibaxx7]

The Spurs, like always, quiet in the offseason, making noise in the regular season

[Martti.]

I'm glad the Bucks got rid of Maggs and got LA and a good back-up for Yung Buck.

You should see their depth chart at PG:

D.Collison/R.Sessions/T.Ford/C.Hasselhoff

Poor hova

Wilt is happy to be in Milwaukee with his fellow countryman Andrew Bogut.

Glad to hear. If I'm willing to give up Beasley then Bogut could come to Minnesota, but Wilt wouldn't be happy about that

Wow! Nash is a Celtic

I was wondering if somebody would notice that. Nash signed for MLE to try & win a title since Suns suck. Only in this Association will you see Cavs win & Nash ring chasing

They've been understated. They traded George Hill for Stephen Jackson because they didn't want to give Hill his big contract (similar to what will likely happen IRL). They're going for title this season, but sadly like the Lakers, they're done.

I'm glad the Bucks got rid of Maggs and got LA and a good back-up for Yung Buck.

Wilt might argue about who's backing up who, but Young Buck's ratings are up to 85 now & he is Milwaukee's best player (ratings wise). With Bogut, LMA, Biedrins as a big 3 inside I'm thinking they're a mid-level Eastern playoff team.

Either way, definitely a great trade for Bucks


I'll get team depth charts up in the next few days. Anyways, I'm mulling over a Jordan Hill, Corey Brewer & future 2nd Round pick to Toronto for their 2013 1st Round pick. Just to create roster space (I've got 17 players including D-Leaguers), remove about $7.5m off my $70m cap figure & so on. At the moment Hill is on IR & Brewer will likely be my third wing off the bench behind Buford & Afflalo. I might hold off making the deal because if I deal Beasley (& open up starting spot for rook) then I'll want to retain Brewer as a backup. Hill has to go though because no way I re-sign him. Any thoughts?

[Fresh8]

Wilt is considering asking to start at SG

I think I've changed your secondary position to SG since I want to see you play next to Jennings when I play the Bucks

Ah, you should make the primary position to SG

Will be funny. Can't wait for season to start.

Looks like Nash is after a ring before he retires. Surprising to see Allen re-sign for four years, not sure he'll go that long in real life but then when it comes to shooters and for that matter point guards like Nash, they tend to be able to stick around and remain effective even as they approach 40.

[Larvae]

I would praise you The X, if Nash would win a championship with Boston
I had never seen Nash win a championship with any of the Associations i've seen around here

Allen's deal is only guaranteed through 3 years before C's get a chance to deny team option. I think they will probably will by that time.

Strangely enough Nash said 2010/11 would be his last season then he blew out his patella then recovered, played end of 2011/12 season & now continuing for another year. I guess he didn't want to end his career on a sour note (as Grant Hill did in 2010/11).

[rise]

Wow, Brook Lopez, Gallinari, OJ Mayo, and Roy Hibbert signed 9-figure contracts?!?!?!

[Valor]

Clippers now have three former slam dunk champions (Griffin, Vinsanity & Nate)

Highlight reel all game long

They'll sell tickets but won't make playoffs again

Typical Donald Sterling

[The X]

Wow, Brook Lopez, Gallinari, OJ Mayo, and Roy Hibbert signed 9-figure contracts?!?!?!

Yep, I was wondering when somebody would notice that. Although granted Brook Lopez is worth it. In this Association he is a beast, the third best centre in league behind Howard & Duncan (who I've got as a centre). He's averaging like 19, 10 & 2. Remember the game was based on Lopez before his last season.

Hibbert gets a lot because he's big & has decent potential. All bigs get overpaid in 2k11.

Just like Lopez, Mayo was based on pre-real life 2010/11 season.

Gallo was slightly surprising though.

Cool you got Eric Gordon bro!

[The X]

Cool you got Eric Gordon bro!

Yep, picked him up from Clippers before trade deadline last season when LA made me an offer that I could not refuse (Link).

Flynn seems rated better in game & better potential as he's now like 84 & Gordon's about 81 or 82. Gordon is a better fit though.

[LegoLand]

Starting five looks good.

[The X]

That finishes off-season coverage. Will hopefully get onto starting to play 2012/13 season shortly

As you will see with team rosters, most teams did not do much so I feel like my changes push me to around 6th best in West with potential to go a few spots higher if everything gels well. Main thing I want is a playoff spot

Around the league, out East I still like Atlanta. Miami hasn't done anything with their roster since they won title so they're going to battle Hawks, Bulls & Celtics for top of East. I think Cleveland, Milwaukee, Indiana & potentially Washington are the darkhorses in the East.

Out West, Thunder will be cream of crop but a bit of a drop-off after that. Lakers have taken big step backwards & I figure they'll be a lower level playoff team. Behind Thunder you've got teams like Rockets, Nuggets, T'wolves & Memphis who are the dark horses. Mavs suck these days.

Starting five looks good.

First seven are good

[Fresh8]

Woooooo go YUNG FUCKERS!!!! I mean... YUNG BUCKS

[kibaxx7]

S-Jax back in San Antonio?

[The X]

Woooooo go YUNG FUCKERS!!!! I mean... YUNG BUCKS

You seem happier hanging with Bogut than Oden

S-Jax back in San Antonio?

Yep, he was dealt for last season. Spurs gave up expiring contract of George Hill. I'm guessing with Parker in hand, Spurs didn't want to pay the $58 million to re-sign Hill. Captain Jack is now entering the final year of his deal. Interestingly enough teams like Spurs & Jazz are positioning themselves well cap-wise. Should be interesting to see what they do next summer

[shadowgrin]

Opening Night of the new season is nearing bitches. Hype this shite up!
